> just give it a push and let it fall in

This not how orbital mechanics works. Getting something from Earth orbit to intersect with the sun is highly complex, simply slowing it down a bit does not make it fall into the sun, it just lowers the orbit slightly.

It's one thing to say "You have no expectation of privacy in public" and quite another to have someone following you everywhere you go, recording all you do and providing that information to government agencies without a warrant. Someone out filming a concert and you happen to be in the shoot isn't the same as having a detailed tracking record created on you, this is digital stalking.

This needs to end, it's a clear violation of the 4th amendment.

It's one thing to be "seen" in public spaces, it's quite another to be subjected to "surveillance" in those public spaces.

One is everyday life, the other is being stalked. Last I heard, stalking was not legal.

> August was the joint-hottest month ever recorded, tying with July 2023

So which is it? Was July 2023 the hottest month ever recorded and August 2026 a repeat three years later?

Just trying to understand what they're really saying here - it was super hot in July of 2023, not as hot for the next three years, then it got equally hot again this past August. I don't think that's the data point they think it is.

> What could go wrong?

Insurance companies are offering discounts as much as 50% for every mile you drive in FSD on the Tesla 3. They wouldn't do that unless the actuarial tables are telling them it's significantly safer than when a human is in control.

Can things go wrong? Always possible - this is the real world we're talking about. Do they go wrong more often with the average driver behind the wheel vs FSD? Yea, definitely does.

Tesla FSD is safer.

People generally feel less secure only because they are giving up a measure of control but it appears to be statistically more dangerous to ride in the back of an Uber than a fly by wire Tesla.

I expect the prevailing thinking among the so called "tech giants" is that before the loss of level 1 talent would normally impact level 2, AI will be replacing level 2, and so on up the chain.

It's a risky gamble but the end game is clear - the job market WILL be disrupted and the ramifications of so many displaced workers may provoke an uprising.

Datacenters near O'hare airport were directed to switch to generators during the recent heatwave so ComEd could maintain the load. The datacenters complied.

I find it fascinating that they are failing to apologize to the people they traumatized, but very quick with the press release that it's "not Flock's fault".

While your chances of being shot by the police are tiny, they are additive the more times you get pulled over in this manner. The press release from the police should have been a mea culpa, a confirmation the error has been corrected, and an apology to the victims whose lives were put in very real danger, not the defense of the massive surveillance system that amplified their error.

> Nobody seems to be willing to route both the original video and the ads through the same server

The only ads I ever see on youtube are the ones the content creators insert themselves into their own video. So this is already being done and gives content creators control over the ads being served while receiving the ad revenue they need to maintain their channel.

I don't know anyone who complains about ads served this way. The creators themselves are incentivized to make the ads tasteful and short and they understand that a view has the power to skip past it manually if they are inclined. This seems to be the proper way to handle it.

Google hands off a project which can become a legal nightmare where AI exfiltrates user health records in order to absolve themselves of any liability while still pushing for their AI systems (and all their Big Tech buddies) to have access.

Since when did anyone have to register a subdomain?

A fully loaded Surface Pro 12 is a pale imitation of the power of a similarly priced Macbook Pro.

Why would I set out to deny something I never mentioned. This is all in your head friend, you need to clean house and join us back in reality.

Nowhere in my comment did I mention America or Trump or any "conservative" view. It's a quote from the UN regarding the Iranian theocracy arresting, torturing, and murdering their own people for the crime of talking about what's happening there.

Iran was murdering their own people by the tens of thousands long before this conflict with America started. Perhaps your focus should be on the atrocities being committed there rather than trying to blame them on the US?

Iran is not the innocent place the media portrays it as.
